Rossi: Can’t Find Stirling Engine Fit for Purpose

What the article says is that there's no "off the shelf" Stirling engines that can work with the e-cat.

Does that mean that one could be developed for the express purpose of working with the e-cat?  Or does Rossi rule this possibility out?

As for me, my understanding of Stirling engines is vague.  It is my understanding that you need at least 400 degrees Farenheit in temperature difference so that a Stirling engine could be sufficiently efficient.  Since the "cold" e-cat doesn't produce that difference, it is understandable that such a device would not exist.

How to get the temperature gradient necessary?  An idea that no doubt occurred to somebody else could be this one:  make one through the use of cryogenic gases for the cold side.  The gases would have to regenerated, and that would entail a parasitic drag on energy production.  The device would not be very efficient, but it may be feasible.  Combined with the hot side of the cold cat with the cold side of the cryogenic gas would give 600+ degree Farenheit temperature gradient---plenty to spare.  The engine would supply the energy necessary for the production of electricity, and to regenerate the cryogenic gas.

What would I do with this electricity?  One possible application would be the production of hydrogen for fuel cell cars.  This would thus be a product that could be sold directly.  Simply crack the water with the ecat/Stirling engine, and then save the hydrogen for sale.

Let's say you were to put these in 200 mile distances from each other all over the USA.  By linking these all together, a person could drive all the way across the USA on a whim.  Quite a demonstration of cold fusion applied to a real world application.
